next up is silver spring, maryland, go ahead. caller: good morning, i do not listen to the mainstream media whatsoever. they are part of the obama campaign. i get my information from listening to talk radio. there were a couple of things that were very interesting last week. we have a local guy here onwmal radio. if you go to bat website c and look uphris plant, he talked about a campaign at the plate for 1972 where mcgovern was accused of wanting to put 47% of people on welfare. that was a surprise to hear that. yesterday, he played the woman that sounds like geraldine from flip wilson. if you go to that websites ,wmal.com, you can get that phone woman has a ring town for cell phone. i think that was hilarious. host: we will leave it there. guest: i think the news media is one thing that conservatives don't trust. even independence don't trust them. a recent gallup poll said that 60% of people of little or no trust in the news media right now. i don't think they see that as a problem. i think they would have a different problem
